Banking & Finance

The events of the last financial crisis started a wave of transformation in the financial services sector. Increased regulation, a need for restructuring, and consolidation in the sector all continue to pose complex problems for incumbent players. At the same time, new innovative players in the banking and insurance sectors are increasingly successful in challenging traditional financial-services models.

Our team advises on all aspects of banking law and financial transactions. On the banking side, we cover a wide range of regulatory and transactional issues, from the establishment and acquisition of bank and their corporate governance to compliance and regulatory aspects. We also advise on the compliance of various banking solutions with applicable regulatory constraints. With the support of our technology practice, we advise fintech entrepreneurs and forward-looking financial institutions in the design, marketing and implementation of their solutions, whether as an alternative to traditional models or a complementary solution.

On the transactional side, our firm is involved in significant financing, refinancing and financial restructuring transactions, with a focus on property portfolios, energy projects and large industrial groups with regional coverage in Central and Eastern Europe. Indeed, an increasing part of our workload in the financial area is related to insolvency proceedings against borrowers and guarantors. We assist many financial institutions in insolvency proceedings and – through our related insolvency practice – we act as appointed insolvency administrators.
